You're right. I believe it was as I said in FP 2.6 or 2.5, but I don't have it now and I can't test it. Maybe somebody else can confirm or infirm this.

>However, setting the order to descending affects all copies of the table that are open. So any copies that were open with USE AGAIN will also have the order changed to descending.

Also any new copy opened with USE AGAIN.
